OE EED INDIANS OF NEWFOUNDLAND. 171 



the coast of Newfoundland, not a stream or monntain in the interior, recalls the speech 

 of those who once possessed the whole. The gentle race has passed away for ever, — 



Gone like the cloud-rack of the tempest, 

 Like the withered leaves of autumn ; 



gone without hearing of the Christian's Grod or knowing the Christian's hope; while 

 humanity weeps over a history without a solitary incident on which its eye can rest with 

 pleasure, and righteousness wonders if in the ear of infinite justice the blood of these 

 unfortunates does not yet cry from the ground.
